Days of Significance Calendar
We value the diverse identities, experiences, perspectives, and abilities of the children, youth, families, staff, board members, and community partners who make up our community.
The calendar provides opportunities for learning, reflection, recognition and celebration, while helping us better understand and appreciate the diverse experiences, identities and perspectives within our community. It is curated by our EDIA Committee as a resource to support meaningful engagement throughout the year.
Note: Select days may vary by a few days before or after the indicated date due to the observance of the lunar calendar for some cultures/faiths and time zones.

Cornelia de Lange syndrome day
Observed annually on the second Saturday in May, Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Awareness Day sheds light on this often misdiagnosed, little-known syndrome. Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) causes a range of physical, cognitive, and medical challenges. It is a genetic disorder that even though present at birth, is not always diagnosed at birth. Affecting the physical and intellectual development of a child, CdLS can lead to severe developmental abnormalities affecting an estimated 1 in 10,000 to 30,000.
